I bet this guy was a lot bigger in his prime. He looks pretty worn out. He wasn't even paricipating in the rut.

He will relax and let the young forkeys do all the snorting and chasing, then when girly gets ready he will take over and finish the job.

Yeah, not a huge buck but interesting. I noticed his right eye was psycho looking in all the pictures, kind of opaque. I think he had some health issues. He didn't look healthy.

Whats up with the blurr in front of him. Is that photoshop, or your focus on a close up object. Not being critical, just wondering what it is or why you did it?

Um, the foreground blur and background blur are truly out of focus. It was a 300mm f2.8 so there is only a narrow band of focus. The depth of field is so shallow that only the face is in focus, even parts of the buck is out of focus. I do quite a few photos with out of focus foreground/background as I believe it draws the eye and attention to the subject. I guess I could crop some of it out...but I kinda like it. Actually, I noticed on the top photo at the beginning of the post that the depth of field was so shallow even the ends of the rack were slightly out of focus but the face was tack sharp. When I use my f5.6 lens I never get this type of background or foreground blur. I like the "bokeh".
*Oh, my wife looked at it and noticed the same thing. There is a little hill in front of him. So the foreground is quite a distance in front of the buck. There is probably 8 feet more grass until you reach the buck over the tiny rise in the foreground. No photoshop other than adjust of levels, color balance, and then a general unsharp mask over the photo.

I love the way that type of lens (wide aperature??) blurrs all around the subject, but I too find that extreme blurr at the front of the photo to be distracting...
THat is a cool old buck...I wonder if he'll come out of winter? is that in Washington Shawn?

Very cool old buck, I shot one like that once where the one eye was definitely not entirely right, even after the death clouding takes over, always wondered if he was blind in the one side. I know he tasted like dog doodoo and he made me pay for hiking into the hell hole to get him. I like to think that despite the fact I killed him he went down knowing the score would be even when all was said and done.

He is likely blind in the left eye from fighting. Wild animals often isolate themselves from others when they lose sight, or partial sight. The opaque look is a loss of integrity of the retina, unless it is from discharge which doesn't appear to be the case. He likely won't survive this winter, too bad someone didn't put him down this year.

He was definitely hurting when he finally walked away from me. I don't think he is alive today... and it's been 1 month now since I took the shot... No Ernie, it's not a WA buck. In fact, he lives over by you...
